Ridheema Tiwary to play her namesake in Manmarziyan
Ridheema Tewary is all set to play her namesake in Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s Manmarziyan. She will make a cameo appearance as the female protagonist Radhika’s -- played by Kashmira Irani -- sister. Interestingly, Ridheema’s character was originally named Gunjan. But during the shoot, it occurred to the makers that Radhika and Ridheema rhymed better and they decided to do away with Gunjan. It seems the sudden change led to utter confusion on the last day of the shoot in Hardwar. We hear Ridheema herself thought that a prank was being played on her. Ridheema’s original name -- before she entered the industry -- is Shweta Tiwari. She changed it to avoid confusion with Shweta ‘Prerna’ Tiwari of the Kasauti Zindagi Kay and Bigg Boss fame.
